[ Upstream commit 63dd5d022f4766e6b05ee611124afcc7cbfbb953 ]
We should add the multicast station before adding the broadcast station.
However, in older FW, the firmware will start beaconing when we add the multicast station, and since the broadcast station is not added at this point so the transmission of the beacon will fail on assert 0x2b00.
This is fixed in later firmware, so make the order of addition depend on the TLV.
